In Brazil, urban agriculture offers path to sustainable food systems

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is supporting Brazil with the establishment of green spaces and farms in and around cities. The process is known as urban and peri-urban agriculture. It can help Brazil improve food availability, bolster community resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions when implemented into government policies. Experts say this can provide a much-needed boon to the country, which has 27 million people grappling with food insecurity.
